In Shijingshan, you don't need to seek autumn through careful planning. The seasonal charm is hidden in every corner here.

Autumn at Yong Ding He Ji (Yongding River Market) ensures soothing relaxation. Reed catkins drift along the riverbank, while visitors pitch tents and unwind. The air carries a mixed aroma of coffee and grilled sausages. Sitting quietly by the water, you will find waterbirds skimming across the surface and the glow of the setting sun spreading over the river. People and landscape are in harmony, forming a gentle‑toned autumn painting.

Badachu Park boasts spectacular seasonal landscapes. Stepping inside, you are greeted by autumn scenery as far as the eye can see. Fallen autumn leaves blanket the stone steps, and wind chimes at temples' eaves tinkle softly in the breeze. Hike higher and gaze into the distance, as the slow-drifting toll of temple bells slows your pace and settles your thoughts before you know it.

Standing atop Shijing Mountain, Gongbei Pavilion features a quaint and elegant structure with red pillars and yellow glazed tiles. To its west lies the Yongding River; to the east, Shougang Park stretches out; and to the south stands the Big Air Shougang. With the autumn breeze on your face, the scene is steeped in atmosphere.

In autumn, flowers in the Shijingshan Sculpture Park coexist beautifully with the bronze and stone sculptures. The lake mirrors the scene in crystal-clear reflection, and white‑marble statues bathe in warm autumn sunshine. Here, nature and art blend in perfect harmony.

Gucheng Park hides the little joy of autumn. If you happen to live nearby, come here for a casual stroll or maybe stop by on your way home. Just look up and you'll find the welcome surprise of leaves turning yellow.
